Nairaland Car Gurus please help me find permanent solution to my golf 3 car(America spec) doing overheating barely every day

I started experiencing this over heating after the change of fuel pump and speedometer censor was changed by a recommended Rewire

I'm using this golf for commercial business, nothing give me any issue in the car than this over heating, is becoming embarrassing when I carry passengers and it started. the car is clean and engine is working fine

it's relay today, it's the water in the radiator boiling tomorrow, I'm becoming sick of this. my mechanic told me when it started this night that my gasket is damaged in the process. I put water in the radiator everyday because of this over heating

please what do you guys suggest as the permanent solution to this over heating gazzuzz Sienna royallord1 and others and I wouldn't mind a recommendation of good Rewire. I reside in Lagos.

danilmo:

My good bro. Check the pictures below


is there any need to wash the radiator. I just want a Permanent solution to this


changing the thermostats and reconnecting the fans back to factory settings will stop this overheating permanently right?

Praxtech:

Change the thermostat. Ensure there's a thermostat there. Reconnect the fans back to factory settings.

danilmo:


baba explain better now biko, ruin as how , , I still av the thermostat kept in my corner in case,I can still force them to fix my thing for me ,

Thermostat In the WATERPUMP of this car makes it overheat, Oga

oluwaseunamos33:
Sell d car and use the money buy new engine keep.

weyreypey:

Get a lower temperature rating thermostat. And reinstall back...then revert your fans to factory settings.... This is the picture of the thermostat... 87°C rating.... There's 71°C settings

Artiiclebeast:
Hmmm

I'm very sure the Kazeem rewire must have deliberately disconnected your thermostat as is usual with them with their " e no mean anything or you no need am for naija" nonsense.

May God heal your car.

THERMOSTAT IN THIS GOLF WATERPUMP MAKES THE CAR OVERHEAT, IF THERE'S ALREADY THERMOSTAT
REMOVE IT.
DID YOU BUY A NEW WATERPUMP?

danilmo:


thanks , just kinda curious about the implication of using the vehicle without the thermostat since engine seems to b working and cooler now , since the fan is constantly working

danilmo:


removed mine too, but what's the bad implications if using the car without thermostat?? if any?

My fan is reconnected to work anytime ignition is on though.

ForeThinker:
Buy a new car = problems solved init ...

okoroemeka:
don't be sarcastic ,this guy is having real life problems with his source of living and you are making jokes out of it,is it a must to comment,how many Nigerians can afford tokunbo cars talkless of brand new ones,or if you can buy and dash him a brand new car I don't think the OP will refuse.

ddlars:
Change the cover, I once had similar issue with my golf back then

it had burned the gasket bro, I've to change the gasket tomorrow


do you've the idea the how much the water pump cost bro?

mdchikezie:


Oga MI there's no need for a thermostat as it causes overheat if it's still there.
You can ask your mechanic too.

Thermostat is for people in the really cold and snowy regions, it's facilitates warm-up immediately an ignition is turned on.
You can ask your mechanic or better still ask Google what a Thermostat does in a WATERPUMP.

I think Volkswagen recalled Cars during a given year period due to Manufacturing error, maybe you can check online, perhaps your car inclusive

umuna:


I drive Passat 07 man, so I wouldn't know how much it will cost you. It could be within 5k.
